I started decorating recently, making tiny changes.
Here are pictures that show what I did. I love crates as book shelves. Gives my place a little country, in the city. Country never leaves, even though I am now a city girl.

Sand crates. I bought these at a craft store.

Pick your stain color. Mine is navy.

I found using one brush for staining then the other for smoothing it for a shabby look.

This corner of my dining area has not been decorated. I hide my laptop on this tv tray, but I know I could do better.

Strangly this is not a photo bomb. Luna gave me a great idea.

These cook books are my aunt's, and the storage was also my aunt's. I brought this home from Tennessee.

So, I look the crates and stacked them. Put the books on it. Placed it in the corner of my dining area and used my aunt's scarf to decorate the top. With my Eiffel tower and cast iron teapot.

Nope not photo bomb, instead this made me laugh. Foxy is worried, because the cat food was in here.

But it is now in my aunt's storage box, hidden in a pretty box now as a piece of art!

As an artist we look for the "right" the "perfect" places, feelings and situations to explore. I was thinking about a dream that I had but somehow through life's ups and downs, I ignored it. My dream is to have a small house, whether a bungalow or cottage in the forest. (kinda like Snowwhite)

The house would be tucked away, where a person must be in such a solitude state to only stumble on this house.

To be in my own world and discover nature differently than I do now.

To talk to my nature friends, even though I already do. But wouldn't that be cool to have them sitting this close as Snow white did?

So, as I was dreaming, I painted what this house would look like, using watercolor paints.

Now would my ending of this dream have Prince Charming carry me away and fall madly in love with me?
